I had no idea..
Shea Stadium’s original scoreboard
Do we need every last detail from Mets Spring Training the second it happens?
This video (if it renders, CBS videos tend to not work right with my software) has sent me over the edge. I’m really getting bored by the constant blog/twitter news-cycle.
My tracker caught “EXCLUSIVE: Mets Execs Take Chopper…” blah blah. Exclusive? What? Oh, I see they have exclusive video. Let’s watch the video and then talk. If it renders. (Earlier MLBAM sent out a Mets come on for tickets and I tried to embed it with their embed code but it turns out the embed is blocked and instead instructs you to go to MLB.com….you know what, screw off…I would have posted your ticket sale now I’m not.)
Hopefully there is a video here. If not click here.
There.
Did we need that?
Of course I’m an idiot for sharing it with you and I’m part of the problem. But do we really need 9 different beat reporters tweeting ..
“David Wright has sneezed.”
“Wright sneezing in dugout.”
“Mets star 3B Wright has sneezed.”
“David Wright in what could be his last season as a Met even though the team has an option for 2013 has sneezed.”
“ESPN confirms that David Wright has sneezed”
“In a tweet Sandy Alderson says Wright has snzeezed.” (why can’t you just RT @metsgm?)
Mets take helicopter to Miami Heat game
I own this 1862 Mets shirt. Yes 18-62.
This showed up on the MLB Shop website and a few readers brought it to my attention. I immediately ordered it and several hours later the listing had disappeared from the site.
I expected the order to be cancelled, but when I got home there was a box waiting for me. I wondered what the hell I’d ordered (I tend to forget what I buy) and found this lovely surprise.
In case you’re thinking you’ll outsmart me – the New York Metropolitans lasted from 1880-1887 so it’s not that. The National League was founded in 1876 so it’s not that either.
Nope, me and a bunch of people that also own New England Patriots Super Bowl 46 Champions gear are in luck and we have a rarity…which is cool, because I have been looking for this shirt since the days my buddy Quinn and I used to hang out in his basement. Quinn was a bit of a science nerd, but whoa the stories I could tell you about our adventures…
This shirt will likely be worn once, probably to a Uni Watch event. Your move Paul Lukas.

Speaking of cool t-shirts, head on over to The 7 Line and get yourself one of these snazzy #imwith28 shirts if you are a fan of numbers divisible by seven.
